The conference attracted participation from numerous agencies, organizations, leaders, managers, and reputable scientists, with 109 papers submitted and presented.

The scientific seminar "55 Years of Implementing President Ho Chi Minh's Testament in Central Agencies (1969-2024)" is a practical activity demonstrating profound respect and gratitude towards the great President Ho Chi Minh; affirming the vibrant vitality and enduring value of the Testament; transmitting, inspiring, and strongly spreading throughout society the resolute will and strong belief in the great strength and revolutionary cause of the Vietnamese nation. From there, it transforms into action so that each Party organization, each cadre, and each Party member enhances their self-awareness in cultivating revolutionary ethics and political fortitude, contributing to building a clean and strong Party and political system, promoting the strength of national unity and the power of the times, and building a Vietnam that is increasingly prosperous, civilized, cultured, and heroic.
In his opening remarks at the seminar, National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man stated that for the past 55 years, the thoughts and testament of President Ho Chi Minh have always accompanied the nation, illuminating and guiding the entire Party, people, and army to remain steadfast and loyal to his revolutionary cause and ideals; and to excellently continue the great revolutionary cause to which he dedicated his entire life and sacrificed himself. In the construction and protection of the socialist Vietnamese Fatherland, especially during the nearly 40 years of national renewal, thanks to the mobilization of the entire nation's strength, with the continuous efforts and unity of generations of cadres, Party members, and people from all walks of life, our country has achieved great achievements of historical significance.
The Chairman of the National Assembly affirmed that, in implementing President Ho Chi Minh's teachings, the Party pays special attention to the task of building and rectifying the Party, always considering it a regular and crucial task. Building the Party in terms of ethics is linked to building a culture of integrity, considering a culture of integrity as the foundation for building the consciousness and ethics of cadres and Party members. At the same time, "building a culture of integrity" means "not wanting" corruption and negative practices. To thoroughly and completely eliminate corruption and negative practices, building a culture of integrity, as the late General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong often reminded us, "honor is the most sacred and precious thing," is the fundamental and long-term solution.
Regarding Party building work in central agencies, the Chairman of the National Assembly assessed that there have been many positive changes. These are strategic advisory agencies with a high level of political theory and professional expertise; they directly advise on and organize the implementation of the Party's guidelines and policies, and the State's laws in most important areas. The Chairman of the National Assembly suggested that, in the coming time, central agencies should continue to closely follow the leadership and direction of the Party Central Committee, the Politburo, and the Secretariat to comprehensively, synchronously, and profoundly implement Party building work, uphold the principle of democratic centralism, promote the leadership role and political core of the Party organization, first and foremost focusing on effectively carrying out political and ideological work, combating and refuting erroneous and hostile arguments, and firmly protecting the Party's ideological foundation. At the same time, we must continue to strongly promote the role and enhance the leadership capacity and fighting strength of Party organizations and the quality of cadres and Party members, focusing on leading cadres and Party members to effectively carry out the political tasks of agencies and units; promoting the sense of responsibility and the pioneering and exemplary role of cadres and Party members, especially those in leadership positions.
The Chairman of the National Assembly requested that central agencies strictly implement the resolutions and conclusions of the Central Committee on Party building and rectification and the political system; linking the study and emulation of Ho Chi Minh's thought, morality, and style with the 2024 thematic topic of the Party Committee of the Central Agencies Bloc on "Strengthening the pioneering and exemplary role of cadres and Party members, and excellently fulfilling the political tasks of central agencies." Party committees at all levels should continue to strongly innovate their leadership methods; select key, crucial, and breakthrough issues to issue thematic resolutions and lead and direct their effective implementation; strengthen regular and unscheduled inspection and supervision by Party committees, Party organizations, and inspection committees at all levels; regularly monitor the implementation of Party resolutions and conclusions; promptly promote strengths, overcome weaknesses, prevent violations, and resolutely handle wrongdoings, resolving complex issues effectively at the grassroots level.
The Chairman of the National Assembly emphasized that throughout the history of the Vietnamese revolution, every victory and every step forward has been closely linked to the immense contributions of President Ho Chi Minh. The entire Party, the entire people, and the entire army pledge to continue the great cause of President Ho Chi Minh; resolutely and persistently fight to firmly protect the independence, sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity of the Fatherland; build a Vietnam that is "prosperous, strong, democratic, just, and civilized"; pledge to "preserve unity and solidarity within the Party as carefully as one protects the pupil of one's eye," continue to build and strengthen the Party to make it increasingly clean and strong; and continue to study and follow his thoughts, ethics, and style.
Speaking at the seminar, Comrade Nguyen Xuan Thang, Member of the Political Bureau, Director of the Ho Chi Minh National Political Academy, and Chairman of the Central Theoretical Council, affirmed that President Ho Chi Minh's Testament is an extremely valuable historical document at the level of the Party's platform – a national treasure, embodying the sentiments and dedication of a lifetime of noble revolutionary activity, unwavering loyalty to the Fatherland, to the Party, and devotion to the people; it brings together brilliant intellect, profoundly reflecting the thoughts, ethics, exemplary style, and boundless compassion of a great revolutionary leader, a man of great wisdom, great humanity, and great courage.
Summarizing the core content of President Ho Chi Minh's Testament, Comrade Nguyen Xuan Thang affirmed that, deeply imbued with his last wishes, and entering the period of reform, our Party has formulated correct policies and guidelines, gradually leading our country out of poverty and backwardness to become a middle-income nation; with an independent, self-reliant, multilateral, and diversified foreign policy, being a friend, a reliable partner, and a responsible member of the international community.
Studying and following the ideology, ethics, and style of Ho Chi Minh, along with the entire political system, cadres and Party members of central agencies have promoted patriotism, working together to overcome many difficulties and challenges, making many contributions to the country's renovation, integration, and development. Central committees, ministries, branches, and mass organizations have actively participated in research, contributing to the development and implementation of the Party's correct reform guidelines in various aspects of social life; strengthening Party building and rectification, building a clean and strong organizational structure for central agencies; upholding a high sense of responsibility, constantly cultivating and refining revolutionary ethics, political acumen, and professional skills, building a team of cadres with sufficient qualities, capabilities, and prestige to meet the demands of their tasks. Actively fight against corruption, negative phenomena, ideological and political degradation, moral decay, and lifestyle deviations, as well as manifestations of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation".
On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the Conference, Nguyen Van The, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Bloc, expressed his sincere gratitude for the guidance from the Party and State leaders and the contributions from the delegates. He stated that the Party Committee of the Bloc will incorporate all opinions and, based on them, compile materials to serve research, study, application, and creative development of Ho Chi Minh's legacy; continue to lead and guide the realization of his sacred testament and the revolutionary cause for which he pioneered, opened, and led; and successfully build a Vietnam that is "peaceful, unified, independent, democratic, and prosperous, and make a worthy contribution to the world revolutionary cause" as he wished.
